Thinking of presenting a horse for the 2026 IDHSNA Inspection Tour? Now is the time to start planning.

📅 May 1 is the first critical deadline.
Paid inspection applications received by this date will be used by the Inspection Committee to help determine inspection site locations.

Submitting your application by May 1 helps ensure that inspections are placed in areas where there is sufficient interest.

Applications are still accepted after May 1; however, those received by that date play an important role in shaping the tour.
